Antonio Conte has broken Jose Mourinho’s record after guiding Chelsea
to the 30th win of their Premier League season with a 5-1 victory over
Sunderland.
Mourinho had held the Premier League record with Chelsea after he
guided the club to 29 wins in both the 2004-05 and 2005-06 campaigns.
But the victory over Sunderland at Stamford Bridge on the final day
of the season means that Conte now stands alone as the only manager with
30 wins in a single Premier League campaign.
Before the match, Conte admitted that beating Mourinho’s ‘unbelievable’ record was a target as he urged his Chelsea players to end their season in style.
The Premier League champions fell behind after just three minutes
as Javier Manquillo opened the scoring, but Conte’s men were level by
the break following Willian’s equaliser.
After half-time, Eden Hazard put Chelsea in front while Pedro capitalised on Joleon Lescott’s mistake to make it 3-1.
Michy Batshuayi completed the comeback in sublime fashion with two late goals to seal a 5-1 victory for Chelsea.
